Advanced Microfabrication of Photonic and Optomechanical Devices
Micro and nanofabrication techniques are integral to fabricating many delicate devices from LEDs and integrated circuits to accelerometers and photonic components. As industries continue to push for smaller, lighter, more compact devices, fabrication techniques continue to push their capabilities to meet these demands. This proposal presents two fabrication-driven research efforts that, while distinct in process and application, share a foundation of advanced microfabrication. The first effort centers on grayscale lithography for flat optical elements, enabling precise control of vertical resist profiles to produce a diverse range of lenses with tailored phase responses. The second effort involves the fabrication of a centimeter-scale silicon nitride torsional oscillator, designed for integration into a laser-cooling chamber that will support precision measurements of gravity. Though the devices serve different domains—photonics and…

Electrical & Computer Engineering
This dissertation develops portable microscopy methods for imaging living plants in ways that are minimally invasive, computationally enhanced, and practical outside of traditional laboratory settings. Plant processes such as wound response, embolism formation, and tissue development often unfold in living tissues over time, yet they are difficult to study with conventional microscopes that require sectioning, staining, or bulky instrumentation. We present methods for deep-tissue imaging with an ultra-thin multi-modal optical fiber, label-free hyperspectral autofluorescence microscopy, and hyperspectral polarimetric microscopy. Together, these approaches enable improved visualization of plant structure, chemistry, and dynamics.
